Jym Meers - Coach

Jim found CrossFit while looking for a more efficient way to train Police Recruits to meet their physical fitness requirements while in the NYPD Police Academy. Jim began to incorporate some of CrossFit's methodologies into training the recruits as well as his own training & firmly believes that the functional movements found in CrossFit carry over to "real world" fitness & will aid the Officers he trained in their careers as first responders. As a personal trainer Jim has used his years of training & teaching along with CrossFit's methods of weightlifting, gymnastics movements, cardiovascular training & nutritional principles with his clients to greatly improve their all over quality of life. His favorite part of coaching is the great community spirit that CrossFit develops allowing each person to flourish in all aspects of their lives & achieve new tasks that they never thought possible.

Crystal Curry - Coach

I have always been into fitness. In high school I ran track and was a cheerleader. After that, I was an aerobics and spin instructor. I found CrossFit 4 years ago and love it! My main reason for starting was to keep my body moving, especially with functional movements so I could continue to lift my 17 year old son (who is disabled) and it has WORKED.

I became a coach for many reasons, but I find the most rewarding part is teaching someone how to do something they thought was impossible. I LOVE what I do, and I love who I do it with at CFCC.

Tyler Toner - Coach

Tyler was raised in Cape Coral and has been involved in physical fitness his whole life. He played football for 15 years including high school. He grew up running Cross Country as well as participating in Track and Field. He trains very hard, and participates in local competitions.

Heather Olsen Shelton - Coach

I have been an athlete my whole life and love a good competition. I have competed in body building, play beach volleyball, and trained for a marathon. In a nutshell, I LOVE FITNESS!!!! CrossFit takes everything I love and incorporates it into one amazing sport that never gets old or boring because there are ALWAYS new goals to set and attain. I hope to share my enthusiasm with others and watch them enjoy their accomplishments.

Brad Johnson - Beginners Course Coach

Katie Onufer - CFCC Nutrition Coach

Katie began coaching clients in 2012 and quickly realized how much misinformation was out there about fitness and nutrition. Over the past 6 years she has worked to attain the education that would help her to better serve the athletes she works with. She believes there is nothing better than being able to help someone enjoy food without giving up the things they love. She says, diets suck, meal plans don’t work, and eating the same thing every day is boring. Depriving yourself of the foods you love will only set you up for failure. Figuring out what works for each individual is rewarding. Seeing people’s successes in the gym while knowing they are enjoying the foods they eat is the best feeling in the world for Katie. Whatever your goals are, Katie can work with you to achieve them. She understands the struggle to find balance and create sustainable habits, and she also understands the amazing feeling experienced when you finally “get” it. Let her help you get to that amazing place, where it all makes sense.

Kelly Fitzgerald Junco - Special Projects Manager

Loves the barbell, hates the jump rope. Kelly has always loved fitness and has played soccer her entire life, competing at the collegiate level. In 2014 she found CrossFit and promptly thought it wasn't for her. After knee surgery in 2015, she tried again, and she fell in love with the sport and the community that CrossFit offers. Her favorite part of the gym is the friendships she has made, the support she receives and the push to always achieve something new. She hopes to help people find a home at CrossFit Cape Coral, just like she did. Outside the gym Kelly is a writer and Certified Recovery Coach who helps people get sober.
